 Dotty: Hey, can I talk to you?

Jam: Go ahead. What’s up?

Dotty: Just thinking about the past few years a lot.

Dotty: We’ve really seen a lot together, huh?

Jam: Yeah.

Dotty: We’re moved in, engaged, made a lot of friends along the way.

Dotty: Can you like, ground me for a bit?

Jam: What’s up?

Dotty: Just… sometimes when there’s too much of a good thing, you can’t help but worry, you know?

Dotty: Worried that's not gonna last?

Jam: I mean.. That’s a trauma response.

Jam: You've gone through a lot, even in just the past year.

Dotty: I know…

Dotty: I’m meeting with some old friends tomorrow and I’m nervous about that too but like…

Dotty: I dunno.

Jam: You want me to hold you a little?

Dotty: Yeah..

Jam: Come here.

Jam: God I forget how big you are.

Dotty: Built to last.

Jam: No kidding. I mean I like that.

Dotty: Both of you do. Makes me happy…

Jam: Good.

Jam: Lex is listening too by the way.

Dotty: Oh! Hi!

Jam: She says Hi back. So…

Dotty: So?

Jam: What’s got you nervous like this?

Dotty: It just happens I guess.

Dotty: Is it silly?

Jam: No?

Dotty: Like… nothing bad is likely gonna happen but-

Jam: It’s not.

Dotty: I guess just… you’ll be here tomorrow, right?

Jam: Right.

Dotty: And the next day.

Jam: And the day after.

Jam: I’m not gonna leave you out of nowhere.

Dotty: I know.

Jam: Let’s just talk for a bit, alright?

Dotty: Okay…  Yeah.

Jam: You're surrounded by people who love you.

Jam: You've got a Patchimus sleeping at the foot of the bed.

Dotty: Two rabbits.

Jam: That's more than a lot of people have.

Dotty: Hehe.

Dotty: Does help. Just...

Dotty: Thinking about what's good.

Dotty: When I finish up meeting folks, I want to talk about it with you after.

Jam: Yeah, go ahead. Call me if you need help at any point too.

Dotty: Mm... wanna just put on a movie and lay down together for awhile?

Jam: Yeah, Got anything in mind?

Dotty: Not really. Just need some backnoise before I dump some thoughts.

Jam: I'll browse around then, hold on.
